“No expense—well almost none— carefree court of good old King
has been spared in making the sec ond annual El Rcdent the greatest of all time,” was the signed and sealed statement of Nash last night as filed with a notary public. “If you want to treasure those college memories of incidents which El Rodeo is afraid to record, then be sure to purchase an El Rodent Wampus.” The editor explained that El Rcdent is an annual parody of the University of Southern California yearbook, but is “not tied down to the staid bounds of conservatism as is El Rodeo. Nothing which occurred during the year is neglected.” Just to prove his point, he declared that the truth of the annual Easter vacation to Balboa will be presented in gory detail in El Rodent.

“And you won't find a word about that in El Rodeo when it comes out,” he sneered.
Among other divisions of university life which will not be neglected are fraternities, sororities, dramatics, athletics, society, and publications, it was declared.
